NCA ECC 2.0 — COMPLIANCE

Are You Truly Compliant with
Saudi Arabia's ECC?

The National Cybersecurity Authority's Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC-1:2018) are a mandatory baseline for every organization operating in the Kingdom. Most believe they're compliant. Most are wrong.

What Is ECC and Why It Matters

The Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC-1:2018) define the minimum security baseline required by the NCA for all government and critical infrastructure organizations in Saudi Arabia. Non-compliance isn't just a regulatory risk — it's a direct business risk.

A single unaddressed gap in your Governance or Defense domain can result in a breach that costs millions in remediation, reputational damage, and potential regulatory action. SOC Root maps every one of your active controls against the full ECC framework in real time — so you're never caught off guard.
